The Million Metre Challenge is a Masters Swimming Canada program designed to promote swimming for health and fitness. The program encourages regular participation through tracking of cumulative distance swum and recognition as the swimmer reaches various milestones.

Registered swimmers record the distance swum in each workout and the system tracks their overall progress and calculates various statistics. When a swimmer reaches a milestone distance they receive the award for that distance.

The basic awards are: a certificate and swim cap at the 100,000m mark, a certificate, swim cap and pin at the 250,000m and 500,000m marks, and badge, pin and swim cap at the 1,000,000m mark. Depending on sponsorships we may add additional promotional awards.

Calgary Masters Swim Club was incorporated in 1978 under the Societies Act with the objective "...to develop a blend of recreational and competitive swimming for adults in accordance with the Canadian Amateur Swimming Association".
